    Wow Angela a 10K that's great. I walked around the lake again and did C25K even with my husband with me it worked OK since I "run" so slow. So I have added another 3 miles. I am making slower but steady progress - hence the turtle. So I am at 14 miles now. It was a beautiful day today and I went for a swim with my daughter at my Mom's afterwards.

    Well that's awesome!!! I feel like I am the turtle a lot of times!!!. Haha!! Especially with weight loss...that's become my motto--"slow & steady wins the race!" . So, although I'm quickly approaching the summer challenge goal, I've got my own slow happenings as well!!! I can't believe how much I've done already!! I'm proud of myself for it (this is only our 5th week to run!!!) & this challenge has def helped put things into perspective for me...I'd never have realized how many miles I've been doing if not for logging it here!!! No wonder my "new" shoes are already getting worn out!!!

    Angela - Congratulations! That is fantastic! I'm with KeriA...just finished C25K but am still soooo slow.

    I have really fallen off the running wagon lately. Have been trying to do the 30DS but just can't manage running and that daily. So got a new plan in place and should start logging some more miles this week. Glad this thread is here!

    Angela: I love that -family race.
    I went for a 30 minute walk last night and 2.8 miles today (part of the was C25K - 16 minutes) So I will call it good at 3 more miles. I usually log my 2.8 mile walk at 3 miles and then not log in the small walks unless they add up.
    Wow Nachisdoll uphill pushing stroller in 95 degrees. That is something. Seems like you desrve some extra mileage on that! I was glad it was cool here today for my walk/run.
    Happy walking/running everyone.

We started off saying we were going to do c25k & did the first day then took off w/joining this running club & jumped right into weekly 5k's. Haha...so much for easing into it!! Oh well, we're all loving it & my kiddos are pushing themselves more each week (& so are we!) I agree Nachisdoll...that's tough stuff!!! It's between 96-105 degrees here & I couldn't imagine pushing anything...it's all I can do to push myself!!! Haha!!!. Kudos to you!!!
